I grew up hearing comments about my bad temper – I used to get in trouble with my father and my teachers for protesting over just about anything. As I get older I try hard to believe I’m also getting calmer. :)Some things still make me furious, though, and I was mad as hell at the guys from a certain website for not keeping their word (and they did the same to other bloggers I love). You’ll no longer see recipes from Better Homes and Gardens on my blog.

You will, however, see me using recipes from other websites, because there are great ones out there – these coconut balls are one of Martha’s cookies.

Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF; line two large baking sheets with baking paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with ¼ cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Mix in flour and salt until they're just combined. Stir in coconut.Roll dough into 2.5cm (1 in) balls; place 5cm (2 in) apart on prepared sheets. Bake until just starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.Roll the warm cookies in confectioners' sugar; let cool completely.

Mark, I did write them (twice) and was completely ignored... Thank you for your support, my friend.

Elyse, they proposed a link exchange, I even made a recipe from them to post with their links and then they never posted my link on their blog. Tks for your support, dear!

Anna, tks! :D

Pia, thank you, darling!

Emily, hey proposed a link exchange, I even made a recipe from them to post with their links and then they never posted my link on their blog. And they did the same to other bloggers I adore, like Helen and Jen. Tks for your support!

PatriciaThank you so much for posting this recipe (I say this because I have just found your blog and this is the third recipe that I have done and they have all worked out well and tasted delicious!). Love the boxes - can you tell me where you got them from.
